February 25, 2011
Gasparilla Gazette

Mark Powell, retired 3M, Brookings, S.D., and Rotonda West: "I guess I'd be against it. It would ruin more landscape. I'd be in favor of widening Gasparilla Road."

Connie Steffensen, retired 3M, Brookings, S.D., and Rotonda West: "I don't drive so it really doesn't matter to me. I really don't know where I'm at down here."

Dennis Craig, Raymond James Financial Services, South Gulf Cove: "Unfortunately, it will have the same effect as the last Placida Road widening. Businesses along the route will suffer terribly."

Mike King, retired electrical supply salesman, Rotonda West: "We already appropriated the money and can't put the money somewhere else. The road is a death trap as it is."

Tom Noonan, retired firefighter, Rotonda West: "I'm for it. It will be good for the economy and enhance evacuation in case of a disaster."
